Not a mean bone in her body.. one of the most beautiful humans I ever known… a whole lot of grace and beauty wrapped in the smallest of packages. my condolences to Brian, Mark, Lis, Rhonda and the family xx
Such a beautiful lady to me since I was very young & lost my Mum. She was a good friend to Mum and a neighbour to my Pop Allen & Nanna Jane Stuart for years. My earliest memories of her at birthdays, play dates and the famous Christmas Eves at the store! Cobargo will not be the same without her. Last time she called me, was to help a friend in need. That was our Mary. RIP lovely compassionate lady with the biggest warmest smile & heart. You will be missed in this community. My condolences to Brian, Mark & Ronnie .. and their families.

Will always remember our beautiful Mummas playing Friday night tennis. Their laughter & how beautifully Mary dressed for the game… always really.
I like to think of them together now on a Friday night playing a friendly game.
Mary was a wonderful lady who will be deeply missed by all & never forgotten.
Mary was always very nice to us newbies back in the 90s – some of the old locals might of wished the city folk would go away! But not Mary – she always took time to said hello – her town will miss her friendly spirit – much love to Ronnie and family
Mary was such a lovely lady when Mum passed and I was very young. A great friend of Mums, Christmas Eves at the shop, birthday parties, play dates & tennis. Always helping out with her big smile beaming! Cobargo’s heart is broken💔 xxx The Stuart Family

Dear Mary, the best bus driver a little kid from upper brogo could wish for (sorry Brian!). Mary had a special place in her heart for all of us kids from the bush, and she delighted in telling us regularly how special we all were to her. I will miss our catch ups in the street, reminiscing about muddy roads and mouthy kids. I’m so sorry for your loss Brian, Mark and Ronnie
